Menus-editing and comments

Submitted by JennyKayla on January 24, 2012 - 1:58pm

Hi all,

I really like how the new menu system includes categories. So much easier to manage. I have a couple of questions today related to the menu.

1) Is it possible for me/anyone to somehow go into the application and modify the category it is under? (Perhaps I want finer details.)
2) Can I nest categories?

Can I add a shortcut to the launch menu for a program NOT in the "PortableApps" Folder?

I have a few paid portable programs Such as Goodsync and Roboform that simply will not install in any folder other than the root of the drive.

Is there a way for me to create a shortcut in the launch menu that can point to these executables?
Thanks

Checking for Updates

Is is possible to stop Platform 10 from checking for updates? I realize it isn't supposed to download without checking but I don't like anything "calling home" without permission.

Wow, Portable Apps have gotten pretty big too. My current version runs on a 2 GIG drive with room to spare and I still have one version operating one a 1 GIG drive. I don't see a "light" version cataloged.

Thanks,
Bob

1st character is a special character

Submitted by fgecme on January 17, 2012 - 9:15am

Due to the many apps I have in my Portable Apps List, I search for a particular app by typing the first few characters. Before v10, all the apps with the same first characters appear. Further typing shortens the list until I see the app I want. In the current platform, the first character always starts with a special character. (¬),(HEX 00AC). I have to delete this character and start typing again to give the name of the app I am searching for.
